"I got clouted on the head once by a conker and it really hurt.

Just above the right ear it was.

The offending nut was a sixer and it was attached to my mate Billy's knotted shoelace. We were in the middle of a minor altercation and he decided to make his point a bit more forcefully. Granted the conker wasn't falling from the tree at the time but it obviously had done at some point. I say uproot all horse chestnuts and replant them somewhere more sensible, like Poland or maybe Venezuela. And don't get me started on hazelnuts... "
